groups aecording to their principal ef-
feete on the bliman body. These are:

victim, and to -see how.. the intlitidnal
citizen, may -protect • himself against
;them, and in case protection is not at.
forded in time how he may aopir azsi
aid to the affected areas. ,
Among the ehoking gases are in=
cludedtphosgene, .ehlorine and chloro -
plain. All of these Attack the breath-
ing Paseages andlungs, muse a feeling
of suffocation tteeompanied by cooglaing
and perhaps vomiting,: and In severe
cases .death results. The first of theft
pees Is Invisible but ,has a definite.
smell of ,rofiSti. bay. The ,
respirator provides complete proteetion
and the gas tthelfdoe% not persist in
the alefor any skeet length of time;
One Of .the hose gases is known
simply by the name D.M. If causes

breathing -passages with a burning pain
and a feeling Of tightness 1» the cheat:
This may be followed by sneezing,
coughing and possibly yomitieg,
How-
ever, this is not a -lethal gas and the
.patient soon *cetera when removed
from the gassed area. This gas Can
be detected only by its results, but the
respirator affords complete protec:tion'
against it. •• ,
Tear gases affect the _eyes, eantiiig_
'thent to smart and roduce tears, bttt
they will not cause death. One of
these Ise B.D.0*„ a lbrean liquid' which;
gives off an invisible_ vapor with a

mentioned previously, full ',protection is
given by- the reardra.tor.. _

the respirator proteets .the face other
Means must be found to Protect the
rest of the body.' . Mustard gas,- one of
the most eomeme of thisq.ast group, is
a heavy, oily, straw-colored.iiquid
which gives off an invisible vapor smell-

-the ntost remarkable characteristics of
this gas and the one which makes it
most dangerous is its remarkable
'rowers of penetration. It will go,
'through ordinary clothing in five min-

soles of boots ill -tweety-four hours, It
is also -very persistent, remaining On
the ground for days ready to contam-

this, gas in liquid'form comes in contact
withTthe skin, the latter becomes red
in about two hours,- irritation results
and, later blisters are formed. If a
sMgle drop enters the eye permanent
blindness Will tresult, but. death front
this ,gas is infrequent Unless a great
deal of vapor, enters the lungs. ,
. Protection against this gas invokes
